Tanita Tikaram "Twist in My Sobriety" letra

Twist in My Sobriety

All God's children need travelling shoes,Drive your problems from here.

All good people read good books,Now your conscience is clear.I hear you talk, girl,Now your conscience is clear.

In the morning I wipe my brow,Wipe the miles away,I like to think I can be so willedAnd never do what you say,I'll never hear you,And never do what you say.

[R:]Look my eyes are just hologramsLook your love has drawn red from my handsFrom my hands you know you'll never beMore than twist in my sobriety (x2)

We just poked a little empty pie,For that fun people had at nightLate at night don't need hostilityTimid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughtsDifferent thoughts are good for meUp in arms, and chaste, and whole,All God's children took their toll.

[R: ...]

Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah,Time to risk a life, a life, a life,Sweet and handsome,Soft and porky,You pig out till you've seen the light,Pig out till you've seen the light

[Half the people read the papers,Read them good and well,Pretty people, nervous people,People have got to sell,News you have to sell.]

[R: ...]

Descuido de mi sobriedad

Suelas gruesas te tendrás que ponerQue te alejen del malTienes juicio, sabes qué leerPara tranquilizarteLa concienciaY que te dejen en paz

Amanezco y me enjugo el sudorMe cansé de correrA porfiada no me van a ganarNo doy el brazo a torcerY no hago casoNo doy el brazo a torcer

Ve mis ojos, hologramas sonY en mis manos late un corazónNunca olvides que no eres másQue un descuido de mi sobriedadQue un descuido de mi sobriedadQue un descuido de mi sobriedad

Picoteamos ese hueco pastelSe festeja tarde, sin cuartelEs mejor de noche no agredirCapitular y sonreírNo me importa que no piensen igualDiscrepar es esencialLa beata indignaciónSolo causa desazón

Ve mis ojos, hologramas sonY en mis manos late un corazónNunca olvides que no eres másQue un descuido de mi sobriedadQue un descuido de mi sobriedadQue un descuido de mi sobriedad

Párate a pensar un poco másTanto que arriesgarInocenteIndulgenteDisfruta, un día entenderásDisfruta, un día entenderás

Mucha gente lee la prensaSe atraca con afánAgraciada, desquiciadaLa gente así se gana el panLos diarios de comer le dan

Ve mis ojos, hologramas sonY en mis manos late un corazónNunca olvides que no eres másQue un descuido de mi sobriedadQue un descuido de mi sobriedadQue un descuido de mi sobriedad
